Senator Ubah also thanked his constituents for also standing firmly behind his aspiration to chart a new course for Ndi Anambra. Senator Ubah in a special way also thanked his fellowers and everyone who has worked tirelessly to see that the vision to better the lives of Ndi Anambra becomes a reality.
